About this Event
Research At Work: Science Policy 101
Comics are not just for fun – they can be used to communicate your research as well! In this 60-minute workshop, we will read and draw comics together. More specifically, we will learn about the field of graphic medicine, its application to research communication, and engage in a comics exercise. No research experience required.
Join Toronto Science Policy Network (TSPN) and Q. Jane Zhao for this year's Research At Work . Everyone is welcome to attend — regardless of whether you are currently a student, working, or anywhere in between.

About TSPN
The Toronto Science Policy Network is a student-run science policy group. We seek to provide a platform to learn more about and engage in science policy. Since July 2018, we have organized a variety of events (including workshops, public panels, and talks) and advocacy efforts, engaging hundreds of individuals to date. While we are a recognized campus group at the University of Toronto, we welcome members and participants from outside the university, and indeed outside the city, to join. Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether you study or actively work in the sciences, social sciences, or humanities.
